Bufete Escura

Firm Overview:
Bufete Escura is one of the most well known and respected law firms in Barcelona. A client centred service, coupled with high quality ethical standards form the basis of its mission. The firm’s longstanding service ethic has resulted in us becoming the reference law firm for a wide range of business associations who trust the firm as the law firm they recommend to their associates.
Bufete Escura delivers legal services to a great number of global companies,who trust in the firm to supervise and advise their subsidiaries due to its specialist knowledge of the regulatory and business framework both in Catalonia and throughout Spain.
Bufete Escura must emphasise its special relationship with Italian companies based or willing to be based in the Barcelona area, given that it has several collaboration agreements signed with different Italian Chambers of Commerce.
The recent agreement the firm reached with Deyco (a legal services company in Moscow and Kiev) allows it to offer its services to companies dealing with the emerging Eastern markets.
